The Collector Zone is a free community for trading card collectors - both sports and non-sports. There are forums for all of the major sports, non-sports, autographs and other hobby-related information. In addition, there are areas to trade, buy and sell with other collectors. Our members have now completed over 48,125 collector-to-collector transactions using our easy-to-use Transaction Manager.

With over 30,500 collectors and over 2,750,000 posts, there's plenty of ways to get involved with the other members - either in discussions or with trading. So, are you ready to join and start meeting other collectors?

It is my pleasure to announce Jason (edgerrin32) as theTrading Card Central November 2010 Member of the Month.

He bounces around all of the forums but posts mostly inthe Everything Else forum. He has provided positive postsand good advice to his fellow collectors.

I conducted a phone interview with Jason for a moreinsightful look into his collection and background.

Why have you focused your collection on Edgerrin James?

"I've liked him since he was drafted. I am also a die hardColts fan.It was a choice between him and Peyton Manning.Due to the fact that an Edgerrin James auto goes for $10.00and a Manning at $70.00, I went for the James Collection."

How long have you been collecting and what/who gotyou started?

"Since I was 7 or 8 years old. I started with Basketball butin 1997 or 1998 Football took over. I don't recall whatexactly got me started."

Which is your favorite forum to visit on TCC?

"Show and Tell and Mail Day, I like seeing other peoplescollections. I get the feeling that I'm collecting right alongwith them.My least favorite is the Politics forum as too many thingsblow up and I just don't care for the subject."

If you could change anything about the site, what wouldit be?

"The home page, too much information and cluttered."

What is your White Whale?

I like to snatch all the 1 of 1's that I can but the 2008Leaf Certified Materials Black Jersey Prime is onethat I really want. It contains the NFL logo patch.

What advice would you like to pass on to the next generation of collectors?

"Do your homework, check out the cards that youwant to purchase thoroughly. If it is an auto, lookat other examples from that player to verify theirauthenticity."

I'd like all members to join me in recognizing andcongratulating Jason for being named the TradingCard Central November 2010 Member of the Month.
